vicky: Just hopping bye feel free to visit my site I enjoyed my visit
Jerusha: Hey there! You can try to reach me today, but unless you call in about 5 minutes, you won't catch us. You'll probably have better luck on Monday... I'd say Sunday, but I don't know what we're doing yet. :D It's Pat's last day off before another 8 day stretch, so we'll probably be trying to get out.

Hatin' life ...

  • Mood: Tired
  • Weather: Hot and muggy
  • Where: Home
  • Daily Crystals: Black tourmaline / Kyanite
I am sooo hating life right now.  As if the 14 1/2 hour day last Friday wasn't bad enough, the work problems are seemingly unending right now.  And then I come home today (ready to jet out to dinner for hubby's birthday) only to find that 40 out of 60 gallons in one of my discus tanks has gone  ... somewhere!  

Needless to say, we were late for our dinner reservation and I think the kids thought I was completely insane (they got to the house about 10 minutes after I did) running around trying to refill the tank and figure out where the leak came from.  Sigh

So, my oak flooring is a bit unhappy, the tank stand may or may not be OK, one of the light ballasts shorted out (thank Goddess it just died and didn't start a fire) and I'll have to replace 6 books.  A nice little $300 problem.  At least it wasn't worse.

On the up side ... the fish appear to be fine (I was able to get the replacement water within a 1/2 degree of the tank water), nothing else is broken (filter, heaters, and air pump are all still working as is the other light fixture), the computer didn't get wet, the outlet behind the tank didn't get wet, and I'm 99.9% sure I figured out what happened.  Sheesh
